While artillery has been described as the queen of the Napoleonic
battlefield, this was an era when cavalry could still play a
decisive role in battle, as well as being vital on campaign. This
volume covers both British cavalry and artillery of the Napoleonic
Wars, as well as supporting units such as engineers. Gabriele
Esposito describes the history, organization and uniforms of the
various units in full detail, following the evolution and combat
history of each. Mounted troops deployed in the various British
colonies as well as foreign cavalry units in British service will
be all covered in specific chapters. The technical corps, most
notably the artillery (both foot and horse) and the engineers, are
given similar treatment. Royal Marines naval infantry and some
other 'auxiliary' corps (like the Yeomanry/militia cavalry or the
Sea Fencibles, all very little known) are also included. The book
is lavishly illustrated with dozens of colour paintings.
